Fixes a bug in xfsrestore caused by different status returned in the
Linux scsi tape driver versus the IRIX scsi tape driver.
A scary error msg should no longer occur when doing multiple 
(sequential) tape restores from a Linux scsi tape drive.

        - Fixes xfsrestore for reading tapes on Linux when one gets to the
          end of the tape (EOT). Prior to this fix, one would get a worrying
          error message.  In the scsi tape driver on Linux, coming to
          the end of the tape when reading is signified by <EOF,EOD> whereas
          on IRIX one gets early warning (EW) status. Thus an extra condition
          has been added for this case.  Also a comment of a table of expected 
status's 
          for reaching the normal end of the dump (at EOD) and reaching 
premature
          end, when one runs out of tape (at EOT), has been added for the Linux
          case and IRIX case (needed for rmt to IRIX).
